WIRE-WEAVING DEVICE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 597,120, dated January 1898- Application filed March 5, 1897. Serial N0. 626,028- (NO model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LOUIS T. MURRAH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Mansfield, in the county of 'larrant and State of Texas, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Portable l/Vireflveaving Devices, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device complete. Fig. 2 is aperspective view of the device and the manner in which the wire is woven by its use. Fig. 3 shows the manner in which the coils of wire are made, ready to be placed in the device for use.

Similar numerals of reference refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

1 and 1 are two upwardly-extending standards, having rigidly attached thereto horizontally-disposed bases 2 and 2. To the standards are secured the lugs 3 and 3 and blades 4 and 4. One coil is placed on each of the lugs 8 and 3, one end 3 of each of the coils is carried underneath each of the blades 4 and s, so as to prevent them from slipping over the standards. Then the two ends are wound partly by hand around the uppermost wire 9. The standards are provided with The bolt 6 is secured at its through slot 7, made through base 2, and by use of the nut S the two bases are adj ustably secured to each other.

As to the operation of my device, the horizontally-disposed wires 9 9 9 Fig. 2, are previously suspended and the coils of wire 10 are previously made by a different device. One coil is placed on each of the lugs 3 and 3. One end 3 of each of the coils is wound partly by hand to the uppermost wire 9, the forks of the standards then being placed over the wire 9 and the whole device turned around the wire 9, as shown by dotted lines 11 and arrows 12, simultaneously unwinding the wire from the lugs and winding it around the wire 9. The device is then pulled downwardly, further unwinding the wire from coils to the wire 9, where the same already-described process of unwinding and winding is repeated, and so on to next wire 9 Having described all that is necessary for LOUIS T. .LWIURRAH.

In presence of- J. H. ALEXANDER, M. E. MURRAH.
